does it hurt to die

Does anyone know if it hurts to die, I guess this is normal because you want to make sure your loved one didnt feel any pain and that they have gone to heaven.

I would love to tell you that it never does, but many of us have seen a lot of pain in loved ones before they go. Some, go very peacefully, as my MIL did, some struggle like my mom did. Thankfully, these days pain management has become a much better fodus on the part of caregivers, so that the person is as comfortable as is humanly possible.
None of us knows for sure if you go "straight to Heaven" or not, you have to make your own choice as to what you believe will happen. Sending hugss, Rainbow

I too have seen people struggle out of this life. But I have been blessed to see people go peacefully. I watched as my husband watched someone "come to get him." And I watched him leave. It was such a quiet and peaceful time. Preparing the one facing death is vital so that they know it is ok to leave you.
Hope you find comfort in this.

i know my mom had a lot of pain but they gave her good medication that i believe put her into a drug induced coma like we do with animals when they are put down. she did not seem so painful after she reached this coma.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
